I really never bothered with making one of this threads, but since then I have gotten a few goodies on my car worth sharing with you guys.

I was on the market to get a new car. I had searched around and hadn't found anything of real interest. A friend told me about the new Subaru coming soon. I researched it and was SOLD!

Put my order on March 11th, got my car June 12th, 2012. Was so excited when the day finally arrived. The car handled like a dream, everything about it was on point. After 8 months, I can definitely say it is a dream come true! I initially thought I was going to keep the car stock (looking back, who was I kidding??? What a joke!).

Next I planned on getting an intake, exhaust, tune and call it a day. While doing research, the price per HP I was going to be able to accomplish with these mods did not make sense. I really wanted more power, but was not willing to spend that much (about 3K) for a "marginal" gain. (bought and sold AVO kit due to some quality concerns)

Ran the KAB customs turbo kit for a few years with zero issues, now onto swapping the LS!

Well Rev Works Dyno IS as heartbreaker as advertised. I made 496 WHP on that map we had calculated 499....

Dat tune doe... so SMOOTH! @jamesm The Wizard hard at work. @KAB-FRS on the hardware
See below.

Update 4/27/15

Hopped on the Dyno yesterday, made 533 WHP. Temp. reading was 104F. Numbers are right in line with what I made a year and a half ago, so still running that James Martin solid tune and great Kabcustoms Sunrise turbo kit. On a cool night (75F) I made on Map3 496 WHP and on Map4 552 WHP. Yesterday on this weather I made 469 WHP on Map3 and on Map4 533 WHP. Not bad!
For reference a BRZ with intake and exhaust dynoed right before me and made 145 whp

March 20th, I finally got my AVO Turbo Kit!!! Huge thanks to Paul for being such a nice guy, being so available and guiding me through the good and rough times of the wait. Some pics of the in progress install:

I think those are the most UEL headers I've seen on this site yet. I'm really interested to hear what kind of sound they make. Post a vid when you get the chance!

The sound is AWESOME! You can go to Vubaru's or Nixr's build threads, they have couple of videos and it sounds glorious.

Hopefully our tuning day does happen!! BTW, I have a pic of your car in the Dyno, added to the third post.

I have had the Visual Graphics and Beat Sonic Sharkfinn. I can tell you without a doubt, with the Visual Graphics the reception is almost the same as stock. With the Beatsonic (the one I have now) the reception does suffer. I still get the same stations I used to, but some of them don't connect to HD anymore.
